My project for videoblogging week 2007... and maybe beyond... will not be here - it will be short, disposable, Twitterish films sent straight from my mobile phone to Twitter at twitter.com/ruperthowe
Last week was my 2 year vlogiversary. I haven't posted nearly enough in that time, and most of my old stuff is offline.
I've always wanted to post more inconsequential short moments, to document cool, beautiful or interesting things as they happen.
In the end, I just film a lot of moments, and never post them because I don't want to clutter up my main vlog. Stupid.
I got a Nokia N93 in January and thought that it would mean I would film a lot of short Moments and post straight from the phone, but I kept filming and not posting. More stupid.
I thought I would try and use videobloggingweek to force me to do it... but then there are other, longer-form things I also want to do.
SO ANYWAY, I've only been Twittering for a week or so, but I love its immediacy and disposability - and a lot of the text moments recorded there remind me of what I wanted to do with vlogging, and with my N93.
Seems to me that these video moments belong more on Twitter than they do on a blog. They're for immediate consumption, and need the immediacy and disposability and Now-ness of Twitter, rather than being viewed later via feed or on a blog.
So I checked it out, and there's a free browser-based tool at www.twitterfeed.com which takes any RSS feed and posts it to Twitter.
I've set it up so that I can film a short moment on my N93, email it (via regular wifi) to Blip, then Twitterfeed.com automatically takes my feed and posts it to Twitter - to http://www.twitter.com/ruperthowe/
The result is a Tweet which contains the post title and a TinyURL to the Blip video.
ALL FREE! ALL AUTOMATIC! ALL THE TIME!
